| <<prev | GOD ROT | next>> |
First blind assumption. There is a god and this god is self-conscious, hereinafter called god.
Second blind assumption. There is a devil and this devil is self-conscious, hereinafter called the devil.
Logically the devil would have to be the antithesis of god and likewise god would be the antithesis of the devil. {Both male of course, women have never been allowed the privilege of god or devil hood.} Now the devil being the antithesis of god is actively engaged in destroying everything sacred to god. But god is above the devils rot and does not condescend to lift a finger to stop him. So we have two irreconcilable forces, one ferociously intent on destroying god and all that is sacred to him and god not giving a stuff, content to sit back and let the devil do as he likes. Consequently we have gods devil being the devil and the devils devil being god. Both utterly convinced of their omnipotence but diametrically opposed.
The devil is the god of realization unto himself, representing all things so called bad, evil, dirty, nasty. However in his realization he is not bad, evil etc, he is just doing what he does best and to him if he does it well it is all good. So good is simply a matter of perception and cannot exist without its counterpart bad, evil, dirty etc. So if all was evil and so called good did not exist all would still be considered to be good [or just the way it is] because there would be nothing to compare it with, no point of reference. Further we can say that so called good is evil is good is evil depending on your perception.
The devil justifies the existence of god, for without him there would be no so called evil [everything would be automatically good], conversely god justifies the existence of the devil, so it seems that each relies on the existence of the other to substantiate their own existence, a genuine yin yang relationship. So we can say that each cannot exist without the other, further, that each gives reality to the other, so that the two are really halve of a whole. We have two halves, which although irreconcilable are inseparable, together they make a whole, but a whole what. If we say the much maligned the devil is [-1] and the much praised god is [+1] and we join them we end up with 0. On the other hand if we say each is [+1] in the sense of their self consciousness and we join them we end up with 2, but we dont have two we have three, a Trinity. Since each is self conscious outside of the union with each other, two positives dont negate each other. So the two are one in the sense of their mutual interdependence but they are three in the sense of the result of that union. But what is the third state, a state beyond good and evil ?
Now The devil actively works at making me evil and god doesnt seem to care too much, he doesnt even try to stop me being evil. Seems as though there is gross imbalance of force being applied here, The devil positively active, busting his arse to make me evil but god being utterly passive, simply basking in his omnipotence not really giving a stuff what anyone does, god doesnt see the need to soil himself with human affairs but the devil works like a Trojan to stuff things up, god does seem to be just a bit lazy. This gets better, we are told that if we be good we will go to heaven where everyone is happy and everything is nice, [presumably the devil has been excluded from heaven]. So everything is good and nice in heaven but how do they know, because there is no evil, no point of reference, nothing to compare it with and besides that what does everyone do.
Seems like the competition to be nicer than nice would be ferocious, after just lying around with the lions for a while and patting the hyenas then picking a bit of fruit all the while trying to work out how to be nicer than the other fellow would get a bit boring. But it would be nice friendly competition, damn Fred you were nice today but tomorrow Im going to be kick arse nice, you dont stand a chance. Well bring it on Charlie I can whip your arse at nice with both hands tied behind my back [or nailed to a cross], just watch me and weep. That will be nice Fred, see you tomorrow.
Now this is where it gets ugly, be bad, evil etc and your arse is grass, you are going to hell. This where everything goes wrong, where your wife did screw the plumber that came to fix the leaking tap, where you didnt quite get your pants down quick enough with that last bout of the shits, where you couldnt get it up and when you did you didnt quite get it in before you let fly, where you put your hand up her dress and there was a pair of nuts, where the marks on your daughters arm are not mosquito bites, where you piss razor blades and you havent screwed anyone but your wife lately, where after a huge night out on the piss you wake up with a sore arse and $5 in your pocket, where it was your neighbor going over the back fence just as you got home, where the wife asks if its in yet, where the boss makes you blow him for a pay rise, where the secretary wanted to screw you in the back room and you got your dick caught in your zip, and so are the wages of sin, definitely not a nice place to be.
But there is hope, I am told that Jesus died for my sins 2,000 years ago because he knew what an evil son of a bitch I was going to be in 2,007, he died for me and everyone, past present and future and Ill never have to worry about sinning again. Now that makes sense, I can do whatever I like because Jesus died for me. In contemporary terms this is the deal of a life time, the triple decker big mac with cheese and mayo, double fries, cheesecake and icecream with a gallon of coke value meal deal. See religion is not hard to understand, be good and youll go to heaven where everything is nice. Be bad and youre screwed, everything will go wrong. But I suppose it all is just a matter of what you perceive as good or bad. Hell must be heaven for the bad, but heaven nevertheless, so heaven is simply a relative term defining a state of conscious determinism not a place.
Now we must deal with the old testament and the beginning of the all of everything, where god made everything in seven days but we arent told what he was doing before or after those seven days. This was a time and place where men were simply made out of dirt, like mud pies one assumes, and women were made out of mens ribs, snakes walked and talked, where trees knew the difference between good and evil and even had knowledge although we arent told what sort of knowledge.
Where you could became god [knowing good and evil] if you eat from one tree in the midst of the garden and if you also eat of the tree of life then you could live forever. So why didnt those two poor saps just eat from the tree of life and save themselves a whole lot of trouble and just become gods straight up. Mankind has been punished for adam and eves stupidity ever since. God apparently didnt give adam a spine because as soon is god is up him for the rent about eating the forbidden fruit, adams remonstrating nay, nay, nay not me, not guilty, that cow of a wife of mine made me do it, after all she is the mother of all mothers, I didnt want to but she forced it down my neck, she said, eat this pecker head or no more looking over the shoulder for you buckeroo, I couldnt help it, its her fault. So gods thinking, I made him first, hes my main man so lets blame the bitch and everyone else has been doing so ever since.
Now Cain was a vegetable grower and god reckoned Cain couldnt grow vegetable for shit, [must have had grubs in them], but shepherds are cool god loving dudes and god thought Abels lamb tasted mighty fine, now Cain gets severely pissed off because god said his veges were no good and kills Able so god throws him out of the garden and makes him become a civil construction engineer [city builder].
Now we come to Noah, this is where faith is tested to its outer limits, anyone who can believe this story deserves The Medal of Infinite Faith for faith above and beyond the call of christian duty. One hesitates to even try to get ones head around the Noah story but in our relentless quest for understanding we must boldly venture forward. This ark or small ship as we would call today it is 300 cubits by 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. Lets say a cubit is 18 inches [about 250mm] this small ship is 450 feet [135 meters ] long, 75 feet [ 22.5 meters] wide and 45 feet [13.5 meters] high. Noah obviously had access to a forest of Gopher wood which obviously must have been near by. 500 tons is a reasonable rough estimate of timber required to build a small wooden ship this length, how did Noah handle the logistics since there is no mention of an army of workers.
The laying of the keel of any ship is the foundation of the whole structure, how did Noah lay 450 feet of keel, apparently by himself without the lifting gear we have today, lets say Noah had access to logs 50 foot long [possibly 4 or 5 tons each], he had to join 9 of these into an absolutely rigid platform for the rest of the ship to be built on, not to mention the rest of the planking, decking, ribbing and internal structure of the ship. I am no expert on small ship but ask any shipwright about building a 450 foot wooden boat and they will laugh at you. Now we come to another insurmountable intellectual problem, how did Noah collect all of the pairs of animals, from the African ostrich to the Andean alpaca the Tasmanian devil, the antarctican albatross, the american bald eagle, the south american jaguar, the Galapagos Island tortoise, the Chinese Panda, the artic goose. How long did it take to build this small ship and who if not Noah was out rounding up Bengali tigers and African lions, and how long did it take for a round trip to America, not to mention trekking through the Australian desert to grab a couple of the elusive bilbys,
Lets be generous and give Noah 10 years to build his ship, to round up all the animals another five years, now where did he keep the animals he had already caught while he is out catching more, who fed and watered them, the logistic are simply mind numbing. This fairytale does not require any more discussion, it is an affront of the intelligence of the dumbest christian critic, how could anyone believe this garbage. About the only way Noah could have pulled of this act would have been to collect DNA and reconstitute it into living animals, but this being to kind and simply presents another absurdity.
Moving on through the old testament we come to more confected rot.
Joshua, and the tablets were still hot off the mountain where god had just said Thou Shalt Not Kill and Joshua is out like a psychopathic genocidal maniac rampaging through the country engaged in mass slaughter, but its all right because god told him to do it. What the tablets actually said was Thou Shalt Not Kill except if I say so, then its ok Subtle hey, who would have thought. Maybe we didnt get the P.S. at the bottom of the tablet, it probably went something like this, Under ideal conditions, when everyone is being good and nice the above applies, but if youre pissed of and need to grab a bit of land and eliminate a heap of heretics and grab a bit of virgin pussy for the troops to play with, disregard above.
Honor thy Mother and Father. It was not long after, Lots daughters [reportedly virgins] gave Lot the great honor of getting him drunk, the older daughter screwing him first and the younger daughter the next night, a rather dubious honor to have bestowed on one. You have to marvel at the pragmatism of these old testament patriarchs, now just how drunk was Lot, since drunk is a relative term, was he so blind motherless drunk that he didnt know he was screwing his daughters, in which case he should have had trouble getting it up, or was he just a bit drunk and able to get it up and didnt mind screwing his daughters [since we are told there were no other women around]. Perhaps he thought it a great honor to relieve his daughters of their cherries.
They were in a cave in the mountains, no other men around, a few months later the two daughters start to swell, no husbands, no other men, was Lot so dumb that he didnt know he was the father of his daughters babies, didnt he care or was he rather proud. One marvels at the christian patriarchs, any pussy will do when the tribal birthrate is down and an heir is needed, keep it in the family seems to be the motto of the story. But before all this Lot was willing to throw his virgin daughters to dogs wanting to screw the male angles [who later become men in the story] staying in his house
Fortunately for Lots wife she was turned into a pillar of salt [ whatever that means] for looking back to Sodom and doubly fortunate the she had no sons because they probably wouldnt have minded playing hide the sausage with her. But Ive got events out sync here, we have to go back to the beginning to find where this honor bestowing stated.
Cain was a murderer, and so was thrown out of the Garden, now it gets weird, all of a sudden Cains wife materializes [apparently out of nowhere], she conceives and bares Enoch. Cain then builds a city, presumably by himself, since the earth is supposedly uninhabited, digs it right out of the ground, knocks up a few apartments, get in early in the property market. Ive had it explained to me that Cains wife was probably his sister, they forgot to mention in the bible that Eve had other children besides Cain and Able. Now it gets wild, Cains has sons, Enoch miraculously fathers a child, Irad the same, Mehujeal the same, Methushael the same, But Lamech is a stud and does the right thing and marries two wives [apparently two wives was kosher then, these wives simply materialized out of the ether], no mention of where the other women came from, [simply materialized].
We either have a generation or so between these begettings of children and they are coupling with their cousins or Eve has been flat out producing child bearers for all of them and they are coupling with their aunties. Here we have keeping it in the family taken to the Nth degree. Interestingly the bible says Cain knew his wife, do we assume they married in the usual sense, however Enoch, Irad, Mehujeal, Methusheal simply begat children and were just spreading the wild oats.
Lets assume Eve bore more daughters after Abel, and Cain married [no potential wives around except Eve or his younger sisters]. Now Cains wife bore Enoch, Enoch fathers a child [no mention of marriage], so Enoch would have to have had a child with Eve, one of Eves daughters or one of his younger sisters, assuming Cains wife had daughters as well. Enoch fathers Irad, Irad is lucky, there are a few women around by now to choose from, he can have either one of his younger sisters, one of Cains wifes daughters, one of Eves daughters or Eve but Eve is getting a bit long in the tooth by now so it was probably one of his younger sisters, you know, might as well father a child with someone you know reasonably well.
And so the madness goes, Ive even been told that Eve was Cains wife [not in the contemporary sense] it was fine then since they were so genetically pure in those days it was ok to have children with your mother. No doubt Adam was getting stuck into his and everyone elses daughters as well, doing his bit to populate the earth, spreading his genetic purity around. Sexual immorality in the contemporary sense has no meaning when you are kicking off a human race, just get down to it with whoever is around, populate adlib, amorality was the watch word.. Maybe thats whats wrong with humankind, we are all descendants of incestuous deviates, [motherfuckers].
Now we come to Abraham, seems there were no limits to the depths to which the bible patriarchs would stoop. Infanticide and ritual sacrifice were only a couple of things required to worship the loving god, a bit of brinksmanship from god, push the believers beyond the limits of human decency to prove the love of their god. According to the story, Abraham wasnt too perturbed about stabbing his son to death and burning his corpse on the pyre, fortuitously a stranded ram was standing by to step in for the hapless Isaac. Was abraham a potential psychopath, or did he posses faith [that affronts any normal human being] beyond what we are able to conceive or was he simply a deranged murderer.
But there are holes in the story, Abraham, is asked by Isaac look at the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering, Abraham replies my son, god will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering. Isaac says there is a fire already burning and Abraham says god will provide a lamb so he already new the outcome of the ritual drama before he supposedly tied Isaac up and proceeded to pretend he was going to sacrifice him. Seems like a melodramatic shame, going through the motions but knowing the outcome before you start. Not a bad yarn to tell around the camp fire to those who were not present and dumb enough to believe it, but unfortunately a fairly hollow drama let down badly by the details as presented in the story. Presumably Abraham spreads the story around so as to bask in his vainglory. Greater love hath no man than to kill his son or pretend hes about to do so knowing he doesnt really have to, a pretty hollow show of faith. And so the rot continues through the old testament like the poor fool caught collecting fire wood on sunday that had to be executed to appease the loving, caring god.
Then the 24 or so heinous crimes that attract the death penalty, such as pulling a donkey out of a hole on the Sabbath or a back chatting son or daughter that dares to question their fathers authority, adultery, sodomy, incest. There are some really important laws in the old testament such as, if two men are fighting and the wife of one of them grabs the other fellows genitals then she must have her hand cut off, apparently fighting and testicle grabbing was rife in the country in those days and had to be stopped and so required a specific law banning it, Thou shalt not grab the nuts of the opponent of your husband in a fight. The woman could poke eyes out, crack heads open, cut throats, spill guts, break legs, cripple , maim, but never, never, never, ever grab a fellows nuts, the line had to drawn somewhere, nut grabbing was not and will never be kosher.
And so it goes with atrocity after atrocity, absurdity pilled on absurdity until we come to the new testament. Here we are enjoined to throw out all of what we believed from the old testament, do a mental back flip and believe that god is not really the condoner of murder, rape, incest, genocide, infanticide, slavery, retribution and punishment, he loves you, cares for you, wants to rock you in his loving bosom. No wonder christians are confused, they have to love the god of the old and new testaments simultaneously, a herculean feat, a dialectic absurdity, only the religious are able to hold two utterly counter intuitive predications simultaneously, and believe absolutely in both, an amazing feat of faith. Two diametrically opposed doctrines, one of hate the other of love.
This brings to mind the Chinese Yi Jing system, the Yang, male, aggressive, assertive and the Ying, female, receptive, passive. Faith = total absence of analytical thought = blind acceptance of the most absurd propositions = a diagnosable form of insanity. The three thousand or so, [give or take a few hundred] contradictions not only within the new testament and between the old and new testaments make the bible a laughing stock, if such a document were presented to a court of law for authentification it would be thrown out in 10 seconds as being an unreliable, historically unverifiable and inaccurate, contradictory, inconsistent, unbelievable, confected, misrepresented, fabricated, nonsensical document and consigned post haste to the rubbish bin where it belongs. However true believers are able to surmount these seemingly insurmountable obstacles with ease and without a thought declare the bible to be the true and authentic, unambiguous, inspired word of god. Analytical, rational thought has no place in the Christian paradigm.
And so today the madness still goes on, we still have the same type of insanity endemic in the modern church. The sheer dumb animal stupidity of the catholic church, the morally bankrupt hypocritical self righteousness of the Jews, the utter arrogance and blindness of Protestant faiths is a sad testament to how far removed they have become from the original teachings, if there ever were any. The treatment of women as substandard beings, not allowed to hold positions of office, not allowed to be priests or ministers demonstrates the thoroughness of the patriarchal thought control. It is a wonder how any woman with two brain cells working can be a member of any modern church. Modern churches are mens affairs with women simply being an addendum, tea, cake and baby makers. Luckily I am a civilized man and I refrain from cracking the heads together of so called god fearing christians.
The madness of modern religion has reached the stage of utter insanity, so called christian governments still go on their murderous, genocidal rampages in the name of god, history repeating itself. Unfortunately the brain dead, alleged christian populations under these governments havent read their bibles. Anyone who supports war is accessory after the fact to murder, anyone who goes to war as a willing participant is a potential murderer and is therefore, by definition, not a christian. So called christians supposedly dont kill, so called christians dont impose so called democracies on foreign countries and in the process wipe out 1,00,000 plus people, so called christians dont steal the property of others, so called christian have never been given the right to rule the world,. So called christians dont have the attitude that we have come hear to help you, if you dont let us help you we will have to kill you its for your own good.
If Jesus was around today, what would be his weapon of choice be, the kalashnikov, crude but effective, the AK47 a bit better, the M16 ok but outdated.
The utter insanity of events being witnessed at present regarding the death of pope john is a lamentable testament as to how low the catholic church has sunk unto anthropomorphism. The catholic man god is dead, [can god die] this is the man [only a man] who has done more than any modern cleric to perpetuate the subjugation of women in particular, the poor in general, is directly responsible for the birth of countless thousands into utter destitution. What did this demon know about procreation.
This is the man that [if we are to believe catholic doctrine] has never known the most basic human functions, supposedly never known the joy of sex, never had a deliberate orgasm, one wonders at how horrible a penance he might have inflicted on himself if he had ever had a wet dream, involuntary ejaculation, horror of horrors, to have to accept that a man is just a man after all. This great man [human garbage] has never experienced the joy of procreation nor the terrible mental anguish of unwanted pregnancy of a mother, never raised children in abject poverty, never seen his son or daughter die pitifully in such poverty, is directly responsible for the inexorable spread of aids and other social diseases. This so called great man [piece of filth] would force, through fear of retribution or excommunication, a raped woman to bear an unwanted child.
This great man [antichrist] has stated that it is better for a man, that, if he cant practice total sexual abstinence, to knowingly infect his sexual partner with aids rather than use a condom, did this person have one ounce of human compassion, the tiniest speck of moral decency. This great man [scum] dared to dictate oxymoronical religious law regarding human conditions that he had not the slightest concept of. His ivory tower provided no view of the slum. This so called great man is accessory after the fact to, infanticide, pedophilia, perverted homosexuality, poverty, starvation, prostitution, overpopulation and consequent environmental degradation. This puerile being turned a blind eye to endemic pedophilia in the church and affiliated organisations. This antichrist [one of the many] exemplifies the vacuous mental retardation necessary for a belief in catholicism. This champion of the inquisition whose dereliction of duty and total moral corruption has thankfully turned millions away from a virulent form of religious psychosis. What we are witnessing is not simply a mass turning away from so catholic religious law, but a mass recognition of a diagnosable form of extremely serious mental illness.
Can one positive thing be said about a clerical system that has seen over 4,000 catholic priests face sexual abuse allegation in the last 50 years, the alleged 10,000 victims were mainly boys between the ages of 11 and 14 years. One doesnt need to go looking for this scum, no, they inevitably out themselves with their outrageous self indulgent behavior, given the smallest amount of latitude they can not help but abuse positions of trust.
Probably the most astounding thing about religion is that it is given any credibility at all when it is demonstrably the most vile, destructive force the earth has ever seen. The breathtaking mindless of fundamentalist christian power gone mad as witnessed in Iraq, the sheer pig ignorance of the arrogant jews, obviously suffering from a deadly serious diagnosable mental illness called something like psychopathic obsessive compulsive disorder [add whatever you like here they are utterly insane]. Religion has poisoned everything it has touched, most governments are run on [the christian model], hierarchical patriarchal lines, most judicial systems the same, most business the same, all having one filthy rotten stinking root in judeao christian religion, islam is no better possibly worse, as evidenced by their treatment of women.
What is this fatal infantile, vacuous flaw in the human psyche that requires it blame the devil when something goes wrong and praise god when it goes right. I remember the sickeningly pathetic sight of jimmy swagart weeping in his confession that the devil made him screw a few whores, that he was a good christian man but that nasty old devil got the better of him. Why not be real, admit and take responsibility for his actions, just say tammy couldnt give me what I needed so I had to pay a whore for it, pure and simple, Im just a man, cop it with a bit of backbone not like a whimpering jellyfish. Anyway where was god, why didnt he stop good old jimmy, apparently they had a hotline to each other, maybe god didnt mind watching jimmy have his wicked way with those hand maidens of the devil.
Why didnt god say to jimmy, stop this jimmy or Ill shrivel your nut up, your meat is going to raise a shit storm of trouble the like of which youve never seen. But no god just let him go, humping and grinding for the lord, halleluiah. Since god thought it was ok for jimmy to go a whoring perhaps we should have a national public holiday Humping for god day, [ since god didnt stop jimmy] nobody goes to work, just stays home and fucks all day, it would bring everyone just that little bit closer to god and wouldnt that be nice, [throw up now]..
The genius of the bible is that it does bring one to self realization, [not the way christians would have you think] it teaches one that institutionalised religion is not only superfluous but a deadly poison to human life, utter garbage, the bible is the workshop manual of what not to do, it is the last word on how to fuck a world, how to subjugate, denigrate, manipulate the gullible, frighten the undecided into giving the benefit of the doubt, turn a world into a polarized living hell. The bible demonstrates vividly that the path to self realization, higher consciousness, enlightenment, and self responsibility [what ever you want to call it] is not gained through some kind of self delusory revelation by an externalised god, or arse kissing a self serving priest, but through the stripping away of veils of dumb animal pig ignorance, fear, and superstition, that true enlightenment is the result of the expansion of consciousness not the contraction of it.
One stands in awe at the spectacular stupidity required to be a devoted christian [or any other faith], how do otherwise supposedly intelligent human beings take this gigantic leap of faith, [from rationality to absurdity] and as the faith become greater so the leaps become longer, [tenuous fairytales become irrefutable truth]. Do they have so little self worth, self respect, utter self hate that they must seek forgiveness from an intangible, unknowable, noncomunicative, mental construct called god.
The beautiful thing about religion is that people accept that there are no money back guarantees, they go to church every sunday, tithe until they are broke, pray until they are blue in the face and if they still feel like a piece of shit they know its their own fault, they havent got enough faith, beautiful, marketing the intangible, no refunds here, regrettably a lot of people self flagellate to the point of madness.
Became a christian at saturday nights brother loves god bothering road show did you, and your still jacking off over the neighbors daughter hey, still cant resist a look at that naughty website then a quick flog and still dont mind getting on the piss, and dont mind going down on the missus, that nasty old devil just wont leave you alone will he, pestering the shit out of you to be the same old piece of shit you always were. But where is god, I thought you gave your life to the loving jesus, I thought jesus is now your lord and master, isnt he supposed to be rocking you in his loving bosom, sorry dumbfuck, you are on your own if you cant cut this faith deal, the bad old devils going to keep holding you by the nuts and you are staying where you are.
It couldnt be as simple as being locked into your behavioral habits, not hurting anybody, just doing what feels ok to you, no its that old devil on your case, nothing to do with your total lack of will, your spineless lack of resolve, your utterly wretched addiction to self gratification, no no not at all, its that SOB devil dragging you down. Well, you poor sap, gods content to let you wallow in your own filth until you have the balls to pull yourself out of it, and if by some slim chance you do then you can get down on your knees and thank your loving god for doing what you did your for yourself. Bullshit you say, god gave me the strength to lift myself up, bullshit I say, because if this god was such a loving, caring, omnipotent god he/she wouldnt have let you get into shithole you were in in the first place.
Unfortunately most people become Christians or other before they have studied it, children are forced into it and controlled by fear through it, those in dire straights are susceptible to it. A one year study for those over the age of 21of any religion should be compulsory before one is allowed to join a religious organisation. A thorough understanding of the nature of, history of, modus operandi, social and personal responsibilities must be gained, followed by a thorough professional psychological assessment before being allowed to join, because, demonstrably, most of the horrific suffering mankind has endured through the ages has been caused by religion rather than any other human stupidity. Religion has convinced people that there is an invisible man living in the sky, and he has a special list of ten things he doesnt want you to do. And if you do any of those things he will send you to a place full of fire and you will burn and suffer and be tortured forever and ever until the end of time [whenever that is], but he loves you dearly and his representatives on earth need lots more money to continue telling everyone this.
Since there is no actual marriage ceremony in the bible we can safely assume that marriage in the contemporary sense is nothing more than a social custom, something to satisfy the prejudices of the morally judgmental, hung up on their own sexuality. The bible says people should marry lest they fall into sexual immorality, no doubt the notion of what is sexually immoral and what is not has changed throughout the ages. So, what is considered to be sexually immoral today, incest, rape, sodomy, bestiality, sex with a minor [male or female], no one needs to be a religious nut case to know that such behavior is absolutely abhorrent to anyone in there right mind and does not need god to tell him or her so, it is self evident, patently obvious, one does not need religion to know the difference between right and wrong.
But lets go back to biblical times and have a look at what was considered to be sexual immorality, who knows who Cain and later, his sons, were screwing. Apparently incest was not considered to be sexually immoral, Lot didnt mind fucking his daughters. No problem with rape in biblical times, Lot was ok about offering his daughters to the rabble to fuck instead of the angels, women where just chattels. Later on in Judges the old man in Gibeah didnt mind giving his concubine to the mob to fuck to death overnight. Then the army of isreal returns and kills all of the adult men and women but spares the virgins and no doubt they were treated appropriately. But what about the concubine [unpaid whore in other words], she was cut into 12 pieces and distributed around isreal, enlightening stuff these bible stories.
Sodomy, well we will have to concede that one, bum fucking was not kosher in biblical times, bum fuckers had to be stoned to death, same for practitioners of bestiality, the loving merciful god could not be appeased any other way. Sex with a minor, historically it was ok to have teenage brides, old enough to bleed, old enough to butcher.
So we could say sexual immorality has actually taken a slight turn for the better these days despite the decline in religious belief, of course there are the criminally insane who break the rules but in general most choose not to partake of sexual immorality, religious nut cases or not. But what about the religious fruit cakes that break the rules of sexual immorality [and there have been many], they are doubly guilty because us nonbelievers are supposed to not know the difference between right and wrong.
Lets make a comparison, two consenting adults living together, unmarried, presumably satisfying each others emotional and physical needs, not thrusting their sexuality upon anyone else, just happy to be with each other, this is considered to be sexually immoral in contemporary christian judgment. But the filthy, morally bankrupt, criminally insane behavior of our great bible patriarchs is conveniently overlooked and not considered to be sexual immorality. Someone has lost the plot here, someone cant read or reads what they want to and quickly puts what is insurmountably intellectually challenging into the denial basket. Is it ok to fuck your daughter, is it ok to give your concubine [common law wife in contemporary terms] to be fucked to death by the common rabble, no, no ,no. This is the sickening fucking, utter rubbish presented as the fundamental, unquestionable, irrefutable, infallible word of god, [vomit now]. I have a daughter, I have never desired to, thought of, considered how I might, fuck her, but the bible says its ok if I want to
Religion itself is relatively benign, a sort of security blanket for those incapable of independent thought or taking responsibility for there own actions, a dummy for the brain dead, a kind of soft drug for the feeble minded, a pacifier for those who must transfer their inability to do right by their fellow man to a supposedly irresistible evil force external to themselves. But religion becomes insidious when coupled with power and politics, as witnessed by present day events, under these circumstances it becomes a theological drug, smack for the mindless. Fundamental christian blindness, the drug par excellence of the worlds power mongers. World politics is rotten enough itself without being fueled by insane religious self righteousness. We are witnessing badly flawed democracy poisoned with fundamentalist theological fascism
Human beings, born innocent, taught to be evil and commanded by god to be perfect without the necessary tools to do so, threatened with eternal suffering if perfection is not achieved, no wonder christians have lost their minds. Faced with the insurmountable task of achieving so called perfection the logical reaction is to simply deny so called wrong doing and transfer responsibility to an invisible, intangible agent, the devil.
Inexcusable actions become acceptable if done for so called highest good, how can it ever be right to do wrong for the sake of right. The jewish example is perfect, invade a country with the help of a strong ally [only because Briton wouldnt accept this gaggle of egotistic, self righteous scum], deny the existence of the native population of the invaded country, subject that allegedly nonexistent population to the most horrific persecution, segregate them, deny their very humanity, all because, firstly, they dont share the same brand of religious insanity as you and secondly god said in an unauthenticated bloodlust fairytale written who knows when, its your land, take it. But its all right because god said to his genocidal devotees [who at times were not so devoted] that this is your land. God supposedly said this to jews, unfortunately there were no jews then, judasim developed much later. The so called chosen people were not chosen for their greatness, on the contrary, they were chosen for their baseness and depravity, they begged special treatment because they were the scum of the earth and required thrashing into shape, they were a homicidal, maniacal rabble wondering around the desert looking for some land to steal, woebetide the modern jew, their karma will bite them hard.
The whole bible story presents absolutely insurmountable challenges to the rational mind, spectacular conclusion have been drawn from the most tenuous shreds of highly questionable myth. The whole edifice of modern religion stands on a handful of historically uncorroborated fairytales. But one must marvel at the magnitude of the con, centuries of thought control, social engineering and manipulation of those who would comply and extermination of those would not, none dare call it megalomania. Christianity is the system, par excellence of the patriarchal fascist megalomaniac
"In order to justify their behavior, they turn their theories into dogmas, their bylaws into first principles, their political bosses into gods and all those who disagree with them into incarnate devils. This idolatrous transformation of the relative into the absolute and the all too human into the divine, makes it possible for them to indulge their ugliest passions with a clear conscience and in the certainty that they are working for the highest good. And when the current beliefs come, in their turn, to look silly, a new set will be invented, so that the immemorial madness may continue to wear its customary mask of legality, idealism, and true religion."
(Aldous Huxley )
